See Mars next to the Moon tonight

Mars has recently come into opposition. That is not as bad as it sounds. It just means that Mars is now closest to Earth, as happens about every 2 years. So it means Mars now appears biggest and brightest in our sky. Even f you are not good with a star map, Mars will be very easy to find tonight as it is right next to the Moon high in the sky.
